5 songs in the Soundtracks, all Lyrics by Dennis Spiegel, Music by Alan Williams. Titles include Responsibilities, You're a Most Important You, Really Spectacular Day.
This is aimed at very young audiences. The song lyrics attempt to bolster self esteem and proper behavior. I feel a giant index finger being shaken in the audience's direction.

I didn't hear any Hungarian nor did I see any written language (but I might have missed such), so there must be another version in Hungarian... yup, a second cast with Eastern European names are listed (without character names).
I don't see much potential for allegory here. A man gives a list to poachers of animals he wants captured (mo reason given) but not harmed. In this universe, animals talk, but only to each other. To humans they only make animal noises. But they understand human speech and/or intentions, so they rally to defeat the poachers. Some get captured and others come to the rescue.
I was very anxious for the film to be done. It was a long 79 min.
Rated 5.8 (114)
